When will we get the new GD with GIF support?

With the release of 2.0.28 of GD which has GIF support added back in, when will it be available as in install on cpanel? Or does it have to come with PHP, meaning that they have to release a new 4.x version?

Maybe people posting HOWTOs should start including the cPanel/OS/Kernel versions and notes about whether the process has been tested and any special (not including in the default cPanel/OS/Kernel configuration) requirements.
